Because (One of) You Demanded It

Okay, a couple more examples of the failure of proofreading/critical thinking/the public school system:

"In this film the violence starts with a crazy bomber blowing up buildings, where "Simon" is taking revenge for his brother's death who John McClane had killed by throwing him out of a window from a sky scrapper."


So John McClane can kill death? Now there's a trick. And he does so by throwing death (specifically, Simon's brother's death, so I guess 'Death' is actually an organization, like Greenpeace canvassers) out of some device that can make scrap out of the sky. How did I miss this film?



"This also allows the ratings to be different depending on the amount of violence, sex, and drug used."


Used by the people who make the ratings? So the more violent they are, the more sex and drugs, the -- what? Higher the rating? So the nerdy guys rate movies G, the hardcore biker-types are making the R ratings? Fascinating insight into how movie ratings are created. Apparently it has nothing to do with the film's content.



"I have also learned that there is different amounts of violence that can take place in a movie."


Well, I feel like I've done MY job, then.

  1. hey no fair posting my film reviews! ;)

    And death is an organiztion, full of Bureaucrats and forms to fill out, and long lines to wait through. It's much like the DMV, only the people behinde the counter are friendlier and more polite. It a very pleasent experiance. They even have decent coffee.
